You can just look at the action_pack source and copy it?

Manfred

Here is an example :

module DateHelper

  def select_day(date, options={})
    default_opts = { :name => ''day'' }
    options = default_opts.merge(options)
    select opts do
      for each day in month of date "date" do |d| # replace that with
valid code
        if d == date.mday
          option d, :selected=>''selected''
        else
          option d
        end
    end
  end

end


You can then use that module in your application like that :

Camping.goes :YourApp

module YourApp::Helpers
  include DateHelpers
end

And now you have some new methods in your view and controllers.
